Do some K-pop fans act too entitled?

Yes!

Especially when they think they "own" the idols like they are property just because they are being supported by going to concerts/fanmeets, purchasing merchandise, and albums.

Then they have the nerve to tell them what to do and what not to do during VLives or video chats like they are their parents or older siblings.

They really show their true colors by having no respect and appreciation for how hard these artists work.

A great example would be stays demanding Bangchan fix skz's tour stops.

HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT? and if he could, it would be too late anyways.

some? you mean most

God, yes. It is embarrassing to see so many fans act in this way. Enjoy what you get and let the poor buggers breathe.

Some fans probably get bored when their faves don't have many activities.

Definitely and it's really sad to watch. I've seen fans who thought they could dictate what kind of hairstyle or outfit could the idol wear, or what type of music they should release, as if the idols belonged to them.

I guess it's a part of the parasocial relationship that kpop entertainment is creating between the idols and their fans, but very often it's going way too far.

I know everyone has preferences, but it's not going to be the end of the world if my faves release something I don't like or aren't active for a while. I'll just patiently wait for new stuff (and to be honest, there's always something new coming up when you're a multistan, which is nice).

counterpoint - but that's the life they choose

if you want to remain in the spotlight and continue the kpop grind that's what one has to do (especially in the first contract period no?)

I mean I've said it before but a kpop idol is the ultimate gig worker - their income is totally dependent on how much money they bring in and if they work less they earn less income

are some idols overworked - of course

but are some idols "underworked" - probably more than those overworking

Yes, I have a problem with fans who want to impose a style of music on their fav group and say that he need to make a copy of a song they like very much

This is sadly true, and why you see so many idols saying how grateful they are to their fans while obviously being entirely burned out by competing demands. I think all idols are aware, at least in concept of the demands that will be made of them - particularly if they are successful,

That absolutely does not mean that some, or a lot of fans are not too entitled.

To me, there seems to be a certain aspect of the whole thing that is a toxic cycle.
